ABSTRACT: Reductive elimination reactions of the cyclometalated platinum(IV) compounds [PtMe2Cl{C6H4CHNCH2(4-ClC6H4)}L] and [PtMe2Br{C6H4CHNCH2(C6H5)}L] (L = SMe2, PPh3) to form Csp3−Csp2 bonds, followed by either exclusive Csp2−H bond activation (L = SMe2) or competition between Csp2−H and Csp3−H bond activation (L = PPh3), are reported. Isomerization to give endo products instead of the expected exo complex was observed for the ligand C6H4CHNCH2(2-BrC6H5), and formation of an endo six-membered platinacycle occurs for the ligand 2,4,6-Me3C6H2CHNCH2(2BrC6H4).



INTRODUCTION Reductive elimination is often viewed as the most important step in a catalytic cycle or in stoichiometric processes, as it often is the step where the desired product is formed, usually in an irreversible reaction of C−C or C−H bond formation. There has been much interest in reductive eliminations where Csp3−Csp3 elimination is concerned1 and many others where competition between C−C bond formation and C−O,2 C−N,3 and C−I4 bond formation exists. Methane elimination of a methyl group and a hydrido ligand is yet another much studied reaction,5 the reverse of which has been studied in the area of C−H activation and which has gained a great deal of attention in recent decades. Reductive elimination studies have also been performed for arylplatinum(IV) compounds, including Csp2−H bond formation6 and competition between Csp2−Csp2 and Csp2− halide bond formation.7 In addition, Csp2−Csp2 coupling from cyclometalated platinum(IV) compounds leading to five-, six-, or seven-membered platinacycles containing a biaryl linkage has also been reported. 8 Examples of C sp2 −C sp3 reductive elimination are more rare than those listed above.9 Recently, a catalytic process for conversion of a Csp2−F bond into a Csp2− Csp3 bond involving reductive elimination from platinum(IV) compounds has been reported.10 With respect to the reverse reaction, oxidative addition, many reports have included the use of chelate-assisted additions where an appropriately designed ligand has first a heteroatom coordinated to the metal, allowing for the C−X or C−H bond to be added to be in close proximity to the metal and hence facilitating the reaction.11 Regioselective bond activation, specifically in the case of C−H bonds, is a © 2013 American Chemical Society

subject of paramount importance in the area of obtaining valueadded products from inexpensive fuel stocks and in the organic synthesis of complex molecules: for example, in the area of pharmaceuticals. In this study, which is an extension of our recently published communication, 12 we examined the reductive elimination of Csp2−Csp3 bonds from Pt(IV) intermediates, which are then held tethered to the metal center by the ligand’s nitrogen atom. This allows for subsequent competitive regioselective C−H bond formation to give the final Pt(II) cyclometalated product. Figure 1 shows the molecular structures of the ligands which were examined in this study along with structures of the platinum(IV) intermediates either isolated or suspected to be part of an overall mechanism. The intramolecular oxidative addition of C−X bonds (X = Br, Cl) of these appropriately chosen nitrogen ligands to [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1) gives initially cyclometalated Pt(IV) products with fac carbon stereochemistry,11 which then can be studied for reductive elimination reactions. We have probed the factors affecting the products in the elimination reactions and the subsequent C−H activation step. The final products have three variables that are important in their formation: Csp3−H or Csp2−H bond activation, endo (ring contains the imine double bond) versus exo (ring does not contain the double bond) platinacycle formation, and five-membered versus six-membered platinacycle ring formation.

methyl ligands. The original chelate C∧N ligand would remain attached to the metal through the Pt−N bond after the C−C coupling; thus, it would be in position to activate a second bond, in this case a C−H bond, which would allow for a choice between an sp3 C−H of the methyl on the ring or an sp2 C−H bond on the phenyl ring itself. Scheme 1 shows the two routes examined, both generating the formation of complexes with Csp3−Csp2 coupling: one route includes the isolation of the Pt(IV) intermediate L1B, and the other route, that through L1F, consists of a one-pot synthesis where only the platinum(II) final products were isolated. The reaction was also run at room temperature, under very mild conditions, in order to isolate the platinum(IV) intermediate L1A. In any case the labile dimethyl sulfide ligand can be easily substituted by triphenylphosphine. This varies the sterics and electronics of the ancillary ligand as well as allowing for better crystallization. Scheme 1 includes many of the reactions observed. In addition to the compounds resulting from Csp3− Csp2 coupling, minor products, tentatively assigned to those resulting from either Csp3−Csp3 (elimination of ethane) or Csp2− Cl reductive elimination, were observed in the 1H NMR spectra of the crude reaction mixtures and were not pursued. Recent papers have reported on both Csp3−Cl and Csp2−Cl coupling from platinum(IV) cyclometalated compounds.13 In the case involving cleavage of the metallacycle through Csp3−Csp2 reductive elimination (L1C, a suspected intermediate), subsequent cyclometalation at the available ortho position of the aryl ring or cyclometalation of the Csp3−H of the methyl group from the newly formed bond (followed by reductive elimination of methane) was observed. The results for L1 are analogous to those obtained for the ligand 2-BrC6H4CH

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Reactions Related to Ligand L1. In this report we present results for the thermolysis reactions of platinum(IV) compounds containing different cyclometalated ligands. To begin, 2-ClC6H4CHNCH2(4-C6H4Cl) (L1; see Figure 1 for ligands) was studied in its reactions with the platinum(II) dimer [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1). Scheme 1 summarizes the reactions and conditions investigated for ligand L1. The reaction is assumed to go through a platinum(IV) intermediate by oxidative addition of the C−Cl bond followed by a C−C coupling reaction of the ortho carbon on the ring and one of the

NCH2(4-C6H4Cl), reported in our recent communication.12 Once the bulky phosphine was added to a solution of L1A, a platinum(IV) species was observed. With the chloro analogue, in contrast to the bromo analogue, we were able to isolate and characterize the Pt(IV) intermediate L1B by XRD (Figure 2),

suitable crystals of the product expected for L2 were obtained when using C6H5CHNCH2(2-C6H4Br) (L3) (after phosphine substitution for dimethyl sulfide). L3 was originally employed in our study in order to force the initial oxidative addition away from the imine double bond, thus giving an exo intermediate, which was to be studied in order to compare the elimination reactions to the known endo cases. The reaction of 1 with L3 was followed under various conditions. Initially, the reaction was run under mild conditions and the 1H and 31P NMR data for the compound obtained after reaction with PPh3 were consistent with the formation of a platinum(IV) cyclometalated compound (L3B). Although formation of this type of compound containing an exo-metallacycle had been previously described and characterized only by NMR,15 the molecular structure determination indicated formation of an endo-platinacycle. Crystals of this Pt(IV) product were studied by XRD and shown clearly to have the endo structure with the imine double bond included in the platinacycle with an arrangement analogous to that observed for L1B (Figure 4). This is clearly evident from the lengths of the carbon−nitrogen bonds. The ligand L3, once coordinated, either subsequent to the initial oxidative addition reaction that produced the Pt(IV) species or immediately thereafter, isomerizes to give the endo product. Scheme 2 details the reactions and illustrates a possible mechanism for the transformation where, immediately after the C−Br oxidative addition, the isomerization occurs. The presence of a bromo substituent in the saturated arm of the free N-benzylidenebenzylamine mandates initial formation of an exo-platinacyle arising from C−Br bond activation, followed by isomerization to a more stable endo-platinacycle, which can take place before or after the substitution of SMe2 by PPh3. In principle, the isomerization could take place either through a 1,3-proton shift mechanism as described for Nbenzylamines16 or through an intramolecular exchange reaction as described for cyclopalladated compounds.17 The second mechanism is more likely, since the ligand itself did not isomerize when left in solution for days or when refluxed for several hours with no metal complex.

thus confirming its structure and indicating that the mechanism likely goes through an initial oxidative addition intermediate, even in the one-pot synthesis generating L1F, shown in Scheme 1. The platinum atom displays an octahedral coordination with a fac-PtC3 arrangement and the bulky triphenylphosphine in the less hindered position, which is trans to a methyl group. This arrangement is consistent with previous studies indicating that the intramolecular oxidative addition of a C−Cl is initially cis and is followed by an isomerization process upon substitution of SMe2 for the bulkier PPh3.14 We were also able to characterize one of our final platinum(II) products by XRD for the reactions with L1. The structure of L1E (Figure 3) indicated that the methyl group that had been eliminated by the C−C coupling with the phenyl group had then had one of its sp3 C−H bonds activated. In addition to the six-membered platinacycle containing the imine functionality, a chloride and a PPh3 ligand complete the square-planar coordination around the platinum(II). This was the major product (Scheme 1) as determined by NMR integration, in agreement with the previously reported results12 indicating that the presence of the bulky triphenylphosphine ligand favors Csp3−H versus Csp2−H bond activation. Reactions Related to Ligands L2 and L3. 2BrC6H4CHNCH2(C6H5) (L2), when refluxed in toluene for several hours, gave results similar to those reported in our earlier communication for the ligand 2-BrC6H4CHNCH2(4ClC6H4), and the isolated products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Suitable crystals for XRD were not obtained for this product, with this ligand and reaction conditions, and the results observed were straightforward. However, surprisingly, a very unexpected result occurred with ligand L3. In this system, 4201

The thermolysis of compound [PtMe2Br{C6H4CH2N CHC6H5}PPh3] (L3B) was carried out in refluxing toluene for 4 h and gave, in addition to trans-[PtMeBr(PPh3)2], the single cyclometalated platinum(II) compound [PtBr{CH2C6H4CHNCH2(C6H5)}PPh3] (L3E) containing a sixmembered metallacycle, which was also characterized by XRD (Figure 6) and showed features analogous to those of L1E. This result indicates that Csp3−Csp2 reductive elimination followed by a fast cyclometalation, with subsequent loss of methane, takes place. The cyclometalation step consists of

A one-pot procedure from ligand L3 followed by reaction with PPh3 produced crystals of L3D. The NMR spectra of these crystals matched the spectra of those from L2D; thus, the two different ligands eventually gave the same product. The compound was characterized by XRD (Figure 5), and once again the CN bond, easily identified by its length, is included in the five-membered platinacycle and the methyl group is attached to the remaining ortho Csp2 of the benzyl ring.

activation of a Csp3−H bond of the methyl group previously reductively eliminated, leading to the six-membered platinacycle. As stated above, when an alternative reaction was run, where L3 and 1 were refluxed for several hours and the Pt(IV) intermediate was not isolated, the final Pt(II) product isolated, after phosphine substitution and recrystallization, was the product shown in Scheme 2, which included the isomerization of the ligand but instead the Csp2−H had been activated to form the five-membered platinacycle L3D. As indicated above for ligand L1, the presence of the triphenylphosphine ligand favors cyclometalation at the Csp3−H bond over cyclometalation at the Csp2−H bond. Reactions Related to Ligand L4. Finally, the ligand 2,4,6C6H2(CH3)3CNCH2(2-C6H4Br) (L4) was studied in order to examine a ligand which was predicted to give a product with the reductively eliminated methyl group not included in the final platinacycle and would be predicted not to isomerize due to the two ortho methyl groups poised to form an endo, sixmembered platinacycle. Therefore, the predicted product was in this case, given the propensity for these systems to form endo products, an endo six-membered ring resulting from the Csp3−H activation. This ligand reacts according to Scheme 3: that is, oxidative addition of C−Br, followed by C−C bond coupling/ reductive elimination, ending with a Csp3−H bond activation of a mesityl methyl group to give the endo six-membered platinacycle ring. No isomerization was observed in this case. In this system, it is one methyl group of the mesityl ligands that had its C−H activated to give the desired endo product, without the need for exo to endo isomerization, as was observed for ligand L3, which had the methyl originally on the platinum that was activated. XRD study of a single crystal clearly shows the original platinum/methyl group attached to the phenyl of the benzyl ring (Figure 7), even though the ring shows a slight disorder. The same product was observed whether the platinum(IV) intermediate was isolated prior to reflux or in a one-pot synthesis from the platinum dimer and ligand L4. Concluding Remarks. Given our results for these systems, it appears that endo formation is the paramount driving force

for determining the final product. Generally, previous reports have stated that five-membered rings form more readily than six-membered rings18 and that six-membered platinacycles are somewhat of a rarity.19 A recent example has been reported for a fluorinated ligand.19f Furthermore, Csp2−H bonds are preferred over Csp3−H bonds on activation by a metal center. However, our results indicate that a six-membered ring with Csp3−H activation is preferred over a Csp2−H five-membered exo ring, overriding both of these accepted rules in order to form an endo product with the imine bond in the platinacycle. Therefore, of the three variables for the final C−H activation that are covered in this study (endo vs exo, sp2 vs sp3, fivemembered ring vs six-membered ring), the most important appears to be formation of the platinacycle ring including the imine double bond, thus rendering the endo structure. This feature appears to override the other variables. 4203

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

General Considerations. The solvents and reagents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich unless otherwise noted. K2PtCl4 was purchased from the Pressure Chemical Co. NMR spectra were performed at Bard College using a Varian MR 400 MHz spectrometer (1H, 400 MHz; 13C, 100.6 MHz; 31P{1H}, 161.8 MHz) or at the Unitat de RMN d’Alt Camp de la Universitat de Barcelona using Varian Unity 300 (31P{1H}, 121.4 MHz) and Mercury 400 (1H, 400 MHz; 1H−1H NOESY) spectrometers, referenced to SiMe4 (1H, 13C) and H3PO4 (31P). δ values are given in ppm and J values in Hz. Abbreviations used: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; m, multiplet. Electrospray mass spectra were performed at Vassar College and at the Servei d’Espectrometria de Masses (Universitat de Barcelona) using an LC/MSD-TOF spectrometer and 1/1 H2O/CH3CN to introduce the sample. The labeling scheme for selected compounds is given in Figure 8.

X-ray Diffraction. X-ray diffraction data were collected on a Bruker APEX 2 CCD platform diffractometer (Mo Kα (λ = 0.71073 Å)) at 125 K. Crystals were mounted in a nylon loop with Paratone-N cryoprotectant oil. The structure was solved using direct methods and standard difference map techniques, and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures on F2 with SHELXTL (version 6.14).20 All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms on carbon were included in calculated positions and were refined using a riding model. See Figures 2−7 and their captions for ORTEP drawings, labels, bond lengths, and bond angles.

Poster presentation of Michael Weinstein (center, Bard College), with François P. Gabbaı̈ (left) and John A. Gladysz (right) This article is based upon a poster presented by Michael Weinstein and coauthored by Craig M. Anderson, Margarita Crespo, Nicole Kfoury, and Joseph M. Tanski at the first Organometallics Symposium at the ACS meeting in Philadelphia, PA, on August 21, 2012. Michael Weinstein will receive his B.A. from Bard College this year. He is currently working under the direction of Craig Anderson, the corresponding author of this manuscript. Michael Weinstein’s research interests encompass the synthesis of cyclometalated organoplatinum complexes by C−H activation and the study of their photophysical properties. After his undergraduate degree is complete, Mike will attend Tufts University to obtain an M.S. in biomedical engineering. After obtaining his graduate degree, he plans to open up his own engineering concern in the greater New York area. Craig Anderson published his first paper in Organometallics in 1987 when he was an undergraduate student with Dick Puddephatt at UWO in London, ON, Canada. At Western University Craig met Margarita Crespo. They share a common interest in organoplatinum chemistry and have been working together for many years. Michael Weinstein represents the 44th undergraduate student he has mentored over a 12year academic career at Bard College (an undergraduate college with no graduate program, but a strong undergraduate research program in chemistry). Professor Anderson is the Wallace Benjamin Flint and L. May Hawver Professor of Chemistry at Bard College and is currently a Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar, which was awarded for his research with undergraduates at Bard College. 4206
